PAS PRESIDENT Tan Sri Hadi Awang has claimed that the Pakatan Harapan (PH)-led coalition government faces the problem of upholding Islamic jurisprudence given the dominance of non-Muslim parliamentarian in its set-up.
Based on the jurisprudence of dominance, the party that leads the government should be the party that has the most seats and represents the majority of Malaysians, according to the Marang MP.
To recap, PAS won the most number of seats in the 15th General Election (GE15) with 49 while DAP came in second with 40.
“By right, the unity government that was established should be led by Perikatan Nasional (PN) not PH,” Hadi justified. “This is because PN is dominated by Muslims with 74 seats belonging to PN (Bersatu contributed 25) while only two seats went to non-Muslims and non-Bumiputera.”
He said this while presenting the paper Fiqh Al Nasri Wa Al Tamkin (Between Domination and Power Sharing) at the Zulkifli Muhammad Islamic University College (KUIZM) in Gombak (Selangor) yesterday (Feb 11).
“This is different from PH given 51 out of its 82 seats are held by non-Muslims while Muslims only occupy 31 seats, So, how are Muslim parliamentarians going to lead the government if most of them are non-Muslims?” he asked. – Feb 12, 2023
